    >"Hey there! Welcome to Sugarcube Corner! Hold on a second, I'll get there. Not as energetic as I used to be, teehee."
  7. 7.
    >"Wuzzat? A reporter? On what?"
  8. 8.
    >"...oh. The Elements?"
  9. 9.
    >"Wow, nobody's asked me about that in years."
  10. 10.
    >"Well, come over here. Lemme getcha somethin' sweet and we'll talk all about it!"
  11. 11.
     
  12. 12.
     
  13. 13.
    >"All right, let's see here."
  14. 14.
    >"Of course you know me. Everyp0ny knows Pinkie Pie! I've been here since probably before you were born!"
  15. 15.
    >"I used to say that I know everyp0ny in Ponyville, but that was a long time ago."
  16. 16.
    >"There's so many new ponies now, and not a lot of them come to Sugarcube Corner anymore."
  17. 17.
    >"Mrs. Cake was soooooo wonderful. I wish I could bake like she used to, but I guess I can't do it quite as well, teehee."
  18. 18.
    >"Oh, right. Sorry. The Elements. Well, I'll tell you what I know."
  19. 19.
     
  20. 20.
    >"Rainbow Dash went off to join the Wonderbolts. I was sooooo happy for her! She's the Captain now, of course."
  21. 21.
    >"I see her shows every now and then. They don't come to Ponyville like they used to. So many places to go nowadays. Phillydelphia, Manehatten, Prance. I heard she really wowed the consulate for Saddle Arabia!"
  22. 22.
    >"Me? Oh, she finds some time to see me when she comes to Ponyville. She drops by for a drink and a donut, but she's just as fast as she used to be. WHooosh, Hi Pinks, glad to see ya, well, gotta go, whoooosh!"
  23. 23.
     
  24. 24.
    >"Rarity's got her shops in Canterlot like she wanted. I see her clothes in uptown Ponyville everywhere."
  25. 25.
    >"Her I haven't seen in years. But that's fine, I totally understand. She's a big, fancy fashion hoobydooby. I wouldn't come down here and visit me if I were her, I'd be too much of a distraction."
  26. 26.
     
  27. 27.
    >"Fluttershy I see a lot, but we still don't hang out like we used to."
  28. 28.
    >"She's still got her animals, and now that she and Big Mac finally got together, she's got a whole mess of kids and grandkids to take care of."
  29. 29.
    >"She's not at all shy like she used to be, but she's just as gentle as she always was. I actually prank her nowadays! She takes it a lot better than she used to."
  30. 30.
     
  31. 31.
    >"Applejack..."
  32. 32.
    >"I'm sorry, it's still hard for me. She was a big loss."
  33. 33.
    >"She was always working so hard, and after the big markets came in from the cities, Sweet Apple Acres couldn't compete as well."
  34. 34.
    >"How could she compete with such variety and speed? We couldn't help her out every day like we did when those con-men came into town."
  35. 35.
    >"She tried so hard, but the farm just couldn't put out the amount of apples she needed."
  36. 36.
    >"I think it's some kind of mall or something these days, I'm not sure. I can't go that way anymore without tearing up."
  37. 37.
    >"She...she worked herself to death trying to keep it. There's no other way to put it."
  38. 38.
    >"And when our friendship finally drifted apart, she was the one to take it hardest."
  39. 39.
    >"I know, you'd think it was me, right? Mrs. Party-and-Friend pony."
  40. 40.
    >"But even I knew when it was time to go our separate ways. We'd all grown up and grown apart."
  41. 41.
    >"Applejack, she...just couldn't let go."
  42. 42.
    >"I don't know, maybe it's better this way. I don't think she would have wanted to live to see Ponyville like this, so modern and...I dunno, impersonal."
  43. 43.
     
  44. 44.
     
  45. 45.
    >"Princess Twilight, now there's a face I haven't seen in forever."
  46. 46.
    >"She was the first to leave our circle of friends, and it made sense at the time."
  47. 47.
    >"She had so many responsibilities and things she had to learn, we were all understanding."
  48. 48.
    >"When she and Spike went back to Canterlot, we all looked at each other and said 'next year. She'll be back next year.'"
  49. 49.
    >"But next year came and went, and the year after that, and the one after that."
  50. 50.
    >"She stopped writing us after the fourth year. I sent a letter to her a few years ago, just to see if she would respond."
  51. 51.
    >"I got a nicely-typed form letter with her signature in pretty purple ink."
  52. 52.
    >"I guess being a Princess is more important than being friends..."
  53. 53.
     
  54. 54.
     
  55. 55.
    >"Do I regret it?"
  56. 56.
    >"...sometimes. When I'm all alone in my apartment and the bakery's closed, sometimes it hurts too much to remember how things used to be."
  57. 57.
     
  58. 58.
    >"I walk everywhere, even at my age, and I see things changing all the time."
  59. 59.
    >"Sometimes it feels like my entire world is dying around me, being replaced by the next generation of ponies."
  60. 60.
    >"I guess that's what getting old is like, teehee."
  61. 61.
     
  62. 62.
    >"But I know I wouldn't change a single thing, even if it meant we'd still stop being friends."
  63. 63.
    >"When we were all together, and Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were still in Canterlot, it was the best time I've ever had."
  64. 64.
    >"It was the best time anyp0ny's ever had, I bet! So many parties, so many friends, so many good times."
  65. 65.
    >"I treasure those times more than ever because they're over now."
  66. 66.
    >"I wouldn't have ever known how important they are if they lasted forever."
  67. 67.
     
  68. 68.
    >"So, hey, you wanna hear about Rarity's sister? She had a really good singing career before--"
  69. 69.
    >"...oh, right, I understand. A reporter's a busy pony."
  70. 70.
    >"Well, if you need anything else, just come on by."
  71. 71.
     
  72. 72.
    >"Pinkie Pie's always here."
  73. 73.
     
  74. 74.
